OPINION
FISHER, Circuit Judge:
Defendant Terazze Taylor appeals the district court’s imposition of a two-level enhancement for obstruction of justice under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual (U.S.S.G.) § 3C1.1, based on Taylor’s false and misleading testimony at a bond revocation hearing in this case. We hold that Taylor’s willful, false statements during the bond revocation hearing warranted enhancement as an attempt to obstruct or impede the administration of justice with respect to the prosecution “of the instant offense of conviction.” Id. We therefore affirm his sentence.
